I need a bit of help with finishing the first round of mods to my bike. I am eliminating the tail light and just running my turn signals on the swing arm and a side mount plate with a light. I'm using one of Harley's run/turn/brake modules and just have a few questions. Using the search function I have found that:

Black=Ground
Red/Yellow=Brake
Orange/white=International
Violet= Left turn
Blue=Running lights
Brown=Right turn

Someone please correct me if I am wrong there. But I should just need to run a ground to each turn signal along with the violet or brown, a ground to my plate light with the blue, correct? And then red/yellow and orange/white can both be unpinned?

Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Hi Matt.

Here's an image I created on my CAD system. It shows the tailight circuit board...but the input (6 pin) connector is all you care about for your plan. In my image the green is GND which is actually the black color wire.

You are correct, a GND wire to each of the turn signals

For the taillight...you'll need a third GND wire from the body of the taillight if there isn't one provided.

 

I won't have a tail light. My turn signals will serve as tail lights with the run/turn / brake module. I will have a plate light that just lights up the plate however. I'm assuming I want to run my running light wire to that and obviously a ground?

 

Sorry.... misunderstood what you were doing. You may need a stop turn signal/module for your turn signals to work as brake light.

 

I have a run/turn/brake module

 

That's what I did on my 2007 NT with R/T/B module and everything works fine.

 

Wow..my reading comprehension sucks this week!

I'm not sure what you would do with that.

Orange can just be unpinned.
Try leaving the red/Yellow(brake) and Blue (tail) wires hanging to see what happens. If everything works, you can unpin the red/yellow and blue wires.

The Violet and Brown should be your brake lights anyway with the turn/stop module.

 

I didn't unpin anything. Just used those pac-man style clamps to T-tap into the violet, brown, and blue wires.

 

Got it all wired up. I ended up unpinning the red and the orange. The blue was ran to my plate light and everything works fine. Thanks for the help.
